Can you amagine a forty years old liberal!! Jagging off three times a day for their entire life!! No wonder their spoon fed ! They can't lift a fork!!! 😮
I’ve had my FNP-9 since 2009. I’ve always liked it. It’s a shame mags aren’t made any longer even aftermarket. Not sure if FN even supports it any longer? At any rate it’s on my night stand because I know it, I have 17 rounds in a gun a bit bigger than a G19 and I like DA/SA. That all said, my P07 is as good with more features and benefits.
I had no idea they stopped making mags for it. That's kind of crazy. That CZ is a nice pistoI I really enjoy shooting my sp-01, it's just a little large for carry. that P07 thu. nicel@@AMXSShirt
Bought a reflex for my daughter. She is petite in size with quite small hands. We shoot a lot on our private range in Texas. She is an avid hunter & shoots full size pistols of varying calibers. The reflex seemed like a good choice for cc. The trigger is a short length of pull & fit her hands well. Trigger is quite nice, better than my upgraded p365. We now have the reflex up for sale due to fail to feed from “limp wristing” This gun has a lot of snap & was impossible for my daughter to cycle a complete mag. Put the p365xl in her hand & it cycled flawless. I am not trying to discount FN nor promote Sig. Just saying buyer beware as I don’t see this reflex as a good weak handed firearm. Good luck!
@@SuburbanPrepper1776 I wanted one REAL BAD to be my CC!!! I LIKE my FNS 9mmBUTT they abandon models with NO support and $60 mags!!! I hope the REFLEX does better... FEELS GOOD in hand... 1. I wanted an S&W CSX as soon as it came out BUT everyone hated it so I didn;t!!! An all metal 19 0z gun w/ 12 rounds and a HAMMER.... YEP... But it was SO hated on Y/T.... 2. Stayed off the SIG 4 EVER... I watched ALL their problems and kept my Ruger LC9S 3. Bought a BERETTA 92X compact... Just too heavy for my JOB which frowns on CARRY... My carry 4 MY job situation 1. Must be small with a Manual safety 2.Light weight 3. Able to mount a Light/Laser (Sig tricked me here with the SIGRAIL!) 4. RELIABLE with +p+ capability... I want a 9mm with 1 shot stop and I have a bunch of that ammo 5. Accurate 6. Be finished well because I must carry "OFF BODY" in a "work bag Pouch" that other co workers may pick up and sling the Bag around 7. Be Red Dot Ready in case my 54y/o fudd ass decides to come out da cave !!! I went into Academy Sports not planning AT ALL to buy a Gun after 2 overtime weeks on 1 check. I went there to buy ammo for my 22 and 357 but there were 2 associates with NO CUSTOMERS there so I decided to "Windar Shop"! I looked at the Canik Mc9 first, The Ruger Maxx 9 second, The S&W Equalizer and the SHIELD PLUS .... Then I saw the SIG P365X WITH OPTIC READY,MANUAL SAFETY, NIGHT SIGHTS and RAIL (POS SIG PROPRIETARY but I was ignorant then)... I SAID "BAG IT UP"!!!!
Chadd, dude you always make my day with your videos. I sit and laugh at your ass thru the whole thing! You have a great sense of humor my man!!!! Thank YOU!
Thanks for the video Chadd and Tech Guy. Another one that you might want to review is the Canik Mete MC9. Excellent trigger as well (striker instead of hammer).
Excellent review Chad, and fun to watch🤣 and I agree with your trigger, slide operation and accuracy assesment. I purchased the MRD version of the Reflex 2 months ago and have put about 600 rds through it. I experienced a few failures to fully chamber the round during the first 50 or so as you did, but I believe it's just a 'wear in' issue. It's run great for the last 500 and I carry it daily. This is my first optic ready pistol and I'm quite a bit slower aquiring the optic vs the sights on my first shot. Got and pointers? (besides practice, practice, practice...)
Chadd can you puhleeeeeease do a video about the demon on your mission that made you find Jesus. I need to hear it man. Need to know how a navy seal can be scared at all let alone so bad you become religious. Please man a detailed detailed video about exactly what the thing did (without divulging info you cannot). Please man love you dude you are an awesome teacher
I believe on Andy Stumpf’s podcast Cleared Hot he told the story pretty decently detailed. Just in case you didn’t know but I agree I would like him to do a detailed video as well.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Only God's Holy Word is sharp enough to combat against those attacks.
If you've never seen the evil of battle you just won't truly understand. There are things one sees that leave indelible marks on ones soul. Sometimes God says it's not your time yet, but you see your soul leave your body without leaving it.
He's a narcissistic tell all type. Not a TEAM Guy. Always telling and talking about himself. Us old dudes shut up and blend in. Be careful, it's his story...may not be that truth. Hope he comes to the Reunions. We have a NARCISSISTIC TABLE SET UP FOR GUYS Like him and Coggins. I remain your MASTERCHIEF!
Love the video and the practicality. You bring real world into shooting that more of the everyday person can relate to. Don’t know if the reflex is for me, I’ll try it out first at the range. Still edc my Glock 19x, all stock and after 16k rounds, without issues, I know I can trust her. Stay safe and keep the videos coming. I’m def checking out barbell apparel. Sounds like a solid gig to me. Thanks again
I have a Sig P365 X Macro w/TLR light. Werkz makes a nice “M6” IWB holster that fits it well. I was pleased to find out when I put the light on my new Reflex, it also fits that same holster. Always enjoy you guys’ straight-forward (and entertaining) content.
I bought this 3 months ago and had the same issues: round stuck and hitting targets to the left. You answered my questions, it needs lube and hold with a slight cant. Thanks brother. God bless you from Knoxville Tennessee 😀
I work out weekly and my hand issue is from tumors that eat my tendons and so far I have had no issue but I can see the benefit to this since my mom had to get a new pistol because she has the same issue and couldnt chamber he last pistol. Plus in a time of distress it could be help get bullets on target faster maybe. Love the channel and a fellow GA boy. To wear that quick is a no go lol
That was some nice shootin,👍 I can't reliably hit with anything past 25 yards anymore, getting old sucks.🤷♂️ And you are correct, it does show up dry as a bone.
Love the humor. Blake's added commentary made me laugh. By the way, that is not the finish that has a problem. It is just dirt coming off on the finish. The slide is VPN treated on the FDE models. That means it is bonded at the atomic level. It should not wear after any amount of use, so they say. Also, I can't think of any other handgun review where a 70 yard first strike was made, and from a subcompact. Bravo.
I’ve gone down this rabbit hole. I’ve had just about every micro out there and compacts. I’ve settled on the Glock model 30SF. Fits me like a glove, very concealable and doubles as a woods gun loaded with 255grn heavy Hardcast loads. 45acp rocks.
The point of the smaller mags is printing. I personally have the Hellcat, but thinking about also getting the Reflex because I'm an FN fanboy. Depending on how you carry, the 15 rnd mags print way more. The pinky extensions don't make a huge difference, because it's the back side of the grip that prints. In my Hellcat, I carry with the 11 rnd with pinky extension, and 15 round spare
I’ve got both the mrd & non. Both don’t miss for me inside 50 yards. No issues. LOVE the trigger & there’s a definite break in period of nearly 300 rounds. I’m a hammer fired snob.
Glad for the review, thank you. Yes, I had to switch from a slide pistol to a revolver, the slide was too hard for me...but I have some neurological damage in these old hands! Almost 70 years, these hands have worked. God bless you. Lol, I was for sure it was the gun, not your aim...but for close defense, easy to carry with the 1 shot, would it still be a good defense for an old lady??
The only way to know if it's good for you .see if you local range or store has one to test .some places do .or can't hurt to buy one and play . I got my better half😂 a glock 43x . It fits .biggest thing is how it fits you ...try it.
Go to a well stocked gun store or gun show. Pick each one up that looks like your idea of what your constant companion should look like. You will know when it fits YOUR unique hand “Like A Glove” This is the major consideration, but certainly not the only one. Listen discernfully to some knowledgeable voices, as many as you see fit. (or can stand) If possible, rent one and shoot at a gun range. If I’m there, I’m glad to let you put a box full through one of mine.. free. Best Of Luck!!
You made me interested in this gun now. I disliked my old FN 509c so much because of the trigger and having mag bite that I figured the Reflex would be the same. But noe I think I'll add it into consideration for my next new carry pistol
Thank you for being honest with this shoot. You could have easily edited out your misses, but you did not. Honor above all else! I still dont wear jeans.
Only men who put jeans on? Men who work son ! Real work not desk or phone work! Best damn jeans wrangler! They get the job done son! Go get them hands dirty son!!!! Trump 2024
I wear cargo pants for all you philistines. I stopped with jeans in the Army. You dont have to just wear jeans to work. Try expanding your experiences to something that is not just in your face. I work the mud tanks on a horizontal drill rig.
@@hickboyjusthick698 You see Jeans are made for hard Labor! They hold up! They are perfect! The problem is ! Don't buy the 3 sizes to small! Only women do that! Trump 2024
Chadd, since you like that Hellcat Pro, TRY THIS: I took a XDm back strap, sanded down, filled and JB welded that biatch on. I used the thinnest of the three, full length grip. Masked everything off. Used zip ties to hold tight til cured. Made sure it's where I want it. Matching the bottom ledge. It's permanent. Experiment first by temporary means. Making that grip flat backed was mistake, IMO. This provides needed swell that puts pressure on my grip side palm that was lacking. Now I don't have to grip it to death, and it points better. Also, the trigger. Harsh after a few hundred for me. First one I've bothered replacing. MCarbo full chooch striker option. Relatively high. But NOW it's the perfect carry I wanted it to be.
My oldest boy and I were looking for new CCWs at the gun show a few weeks ago. There were three pistols I wanted to check out and the Reflex was one of them. I found one and loved it, but there was another one that I liked as well that wasn't even on my radar..... The IWI Masada Slim. My boy bought the Reflex and I bought the Masada 9S. I am ready to shoot the Reflex and see if I "need" one of those as well. Haha
I will be considering this FN as my Newer addiction for the Addition to my Firearm Family here at the Gunn Dog Inn Cross Hill SC..Thank you Chad Karl Gunn a independent Amsoil dealer .
I bought two, both had consistent jamming problems and failures to feed. Loved it when it ran, but the the failures were too frequent. Not gonna risk my life on this gun. Sold it. That said, I do love FN.
I think the MagTechs pointed tip is what causes malfunctions. I've never had a problem with any malfunctions until I started using Magtech ammo. I think the guides dont like it on a lot of pistols.
I have a bunch of magtech ammo- have you noticed it throws shitloads of debris with your shots? Seems to be tons of little shards hitting my targets along with the rounds!!
The Walther PDP is a very solid pistol. I've bounced between Glock and Walther for my comp guns and general carry. I loved the Q5 models when I used them in local matches.
Never found Magtech ball 9mm to be very accurate, in anything. It'll suck less in some guns, than others, but I wouldn't try to set a guns accuracy limits with it. I'm sure you can shoot. Thanks for your service, and the entertaining shooting vid. Best wishes, from Texas. :)
Love your channel. Subscribed. I was born and raised in Rome Ga. Now down in FL, East Coast. If you ever need a place to stay and train we got ya. We are a family of Christ followers. Appreciate your ministry/testimony. God Bless!!
Just went shooting and practicing today. Love the new Glock 21 Gen5 I bought. On target with every shot. My edc is my Glock 43x and I rotate my Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro. 😊
I carry full-size guns, period. 509T, 510T, FNX45T, P220 Legion SAO 10mm. The finish on all of them is worn, as they should be. My wife runs a P365XL, which I like better than the Hellcat Pro myself, but not sure I could ever carry a micro-compact as my hands are just too dang large for those little guns man. To each their own but I just modify my carry methods so I can have the gun I’m comfortable with on me at all times. I love FN, HK, Beretta, Sig, and a half dozen other manufacturers far better than Glock. I understand that you like Glocks to a fault, I just don’t understand why. I’ve tried, I promise. I appreciate most of your content regardless dude. Keep it up.
I opened this video thinking," here we go, another RU-vid cook." Then I became interested as well as entertained. Then I went to your channel. Then I learned who and what you are. Then I subscribed to your channel.
What a hoot! 10 paces, 11 paces, 12 paces, you're probably WAY further than you think you are. You mix serious with hilarious in equal parts but still deliver useful info while making fun of your viewers. Also thanks for not having a 2 minute rock&roll intro with lightning bolts, not going on too much about sponsors or patreon, and keeping it real.
The Remington RM380 (Rorbaugh copy) is the best pocket gun I've ever owned. I've had about 10 or 12 different pocket 380s. Second best I've owned is the Ruger LCP max.
Because of your review of the Helcat, I ended up getting one.. everyone else that tries it, first thing they notice is the sites, then the recoil, the down side. But I love how it feels in my 'baby/female" hands..lol
I was shooting 4” left with it moved back sight 1/8” to the right center hits I’m no where the shooter you are but I was hitting the same plinked you were shooting at 100’ I’ll keep practicing I’m waiting on my holster to come in it will be my everyday carry God Bless you are a trip really like the videos looking forward to more
I switch between the Reflex and the 43x for my daily carry gun. I think there's a little bit of a break-in period for the Reflex. Run a few hundred rounds through it and you'll be pleased with the result. Lately I've been running my 509T at the range, and it's become my favorite. Just have to take the trigger and striker assemblies apart and polish every piece.
I carry one when i want to roll with a micro for extra comfort. Cant run it with the short mags because my hands are too big and it can also sometimes be REALLY hard to slam a mag home.. Gotta put my thumb over top of the slide when i change a mag or the pistol pops out of my big ass palms. Lately I’ve been running a Walther PDP F-series as my EDC and absolutely love it.
I carry a Sig P365 with the 17 round macro mags which gives it a full grip which i like. It has a decent trigger, comes with Sig night sights which are good sights. Its been a pretty reliable and accurate lil pistol for a compaq. But my full suze go to pistol is my Canik TP9 Elite combat. Comes with a fluted threaded barrel, aluminum flat faced trigger which is a amazing trigger with a super short reset. Then next my gen 2 glock 22 . She runs like a champ. Amazingly reliable pistol
I like your practical approach to pistol reviews. I'm wondering whether you take into account 'center-hold' vs. 'combat-hold' sighting before you evaluate a new weapon? I only ask because you seemed surprised that this FN seemed to shoot low. I'm just a 'plinker' so probably wouldn't matter much either way, but for shooter as proficient as you, seems to me if your EDC (the gun you train with most) has a different hold than a weapon you're shooting for the very first time, it would make a difference in your initial results.
I carry a FN 509 tac. I used to carry a hellcat pro. Both are great but I have very large hands so I trended away my hellcat pro. I love the 509, it’s a great little gun.
You sure are ornery today son! Lol Folks, don't worry about the price, go get you some barbell jeans and shirts plus hoodies. Chadd is not lying on the comfort level with these jeans. In fact, shirts, shorts and hoodies are awesome 👌 plus you help the channel with sales. Select Chadd on your order form so he can get credit for your purchases. Have a great day all!
My Reflex has the same issue with No goin into complete battery when you release the slide.. has since day one. Oiling didn’t help. Hoping it’s a breakin thing.. Also your on point with it shooting low.. mine does as well, however I haven’t tried the slight right cant LMAO but will asap!!
I really like your positioning of the pistol when you're not shooting or changing mags, which I know you've trained your viewers on in other videos. I'm curious -- when you move the pistol in front of your face from your left to right, why do you raise it above your forehead in a rainbow-shaped motion? Is there a specific safety reason for that?
